a Crossover Cable

[worldpease]

here again.
I was reading this, (http://www.littlewhitedog.com/content-8.html),
and I want to ask something related to the ¨Crossover Cable¨,
does the information there means that the cable is diferent to the one I already
use?,
is it like inverted?,
and laso, can I buy a ¨Crossover Cable¨ at a store?

Basically, the "send" wires on one end is connected to the "receive" wires on the other end and vice-versa (hince crossover). I use it to connect directly to another computer without a router. Otherwise, if you use a normal network cable between 2 computers, the "send" wires on both will be connected but the "receive" wires will never receive a signal...then you'll need a router or switch box.
